Definitions
- tubulars When completing a subterranean well for the production of fluids, minerals, or gases from underground reservoirs, several types of tubulars are placed downhole as part of the drilling, exploration, and completions process. These tubulars can include casing, tubing, pipes, liners, and devices conveyed downhole by tubulars of various types. Each well is unique, so combinations of different tubulars may be lowered into a well for a multitude of purposes.
- a subsurface or subterranean well transits one or more formations.
- the formation is a body of rock or strata that contains one or more compositions.
- the formation is treated as a continuous body.
- hydrocarbon deposits may exist.
- a wellbore will be drilled from a surface location, placing a hole into a formation of interest.
- Completion equipment will be put into place, including casing, tubing, and other downhole equipment as needed.
- Perforating the casing and the formation with a perforating gun is a well known method in the art for accessing hydrocarbon deposits within a formation from a wellbore.
- a shaped charge is a term of art for a device that when detonated generates a focused explosive output. This is achieved in part by the geometry of the explosive in conjunction with an adjacent liner.
- a shaped charge includes a metal case that contains an explosive material with a concave shape, which has a thin metal liner on the inner surface. Many materials are used for the liner; some of the more common metals include brass, copper, tungsten, and lead. When the explosive detonates the liner metal is compressed into a superheated, super pressurized jet that can penetrate metal, concrete, and rock.
- a perforating gun has a gun body.
- the gun body typically is composed of metal and is cylindrical in shape.
- a charge holder or carrier tube which is a tube that is designed to hold the actual shaped charges.
- the charge holder will contain cutouts called charge holes where the shaped charges will be placed.
- a shaped charge is typically detonated by a booster or igniter. Shaped charges may be detonated by electrical igniters, pressure activated igniters, or detonating cord. One way to ignite several shaped charges is to connect a common detonating cord that is placed proximate to the igniter of each shaped charge.
- the detonating cord is comprised of material that explodes upon ignition. The energy of the exploding detonating cord can ignite shaped charges that are properly placed proximate to the detonating cord. Often a series of shaped charges may be daisy chained together using detonating cord.
- Another type of explosive used in completions is a jet cutter. This is an explosive that creates a radial explosion. It can be used to sever tubulars, including downhole casing.
- a firing head is used to detonate the detonating cord in the perforating gun.
- the firing head may be activated by an electrical signal.
- Electricity may be provided by a wireline that ties into the cablehead at the top of a tool string.
- the electrical signal may have to travel through several components, subs, and tools before it gets to the firing head.
- a reliable electrical connector is needed to ensure the electrical signal can easily pass from one component to the next as it moves down the tool string.
- the electrical signal is typically grounded against the tool string casing. As a result, the electrical connections must be insulated from tool components that are in electrical contact with the tool string casing.
- a firing head may also be used in conjunction with a setting tool.
- Setting tools can be used for many applications, including setting bridge plugs.
- Bridge plugs are often introduced or carried into a subterranean oil or gas well on a conduit, such as wire line, electric line, continuous coiled tubing, threaded work string, or the like, for engagement at a pre-selected position within the well along another conduit having an inner smooth inner wall, such as casing.
- the bridge plug is typically expanded and set into position within the casing.
- the bridge plug effectively seals off one section of casing from another.
- Several different completions operations may commence after the bridge plug is set, including perforating and fracturing.
- Setting a bridge plug typically requires setting a "slip" mechanism that engages and locks the bridge plug with the casing, and energizing the packing element in the case of a bridge plug. This requires large forces, often in excess of 20,000 lbs.
- the activation or manipulation of some setting tools involves the activation of an energetic material such as an explosive pyrotechnic or black powder charge to provide the energy needed to deform a bridge plug.
- the energetic material may use a relatively slow burning chemical reaction to generate high pressure gases.
- One such setting tool is the Model E-4 Wireline Pressure Setting Tool of Baker International Corporation, sometimes referred to as the Baker Setting Tool.
- the explosive setting tool remains pressurized and must be raised to the surface and depressurized. This typically entails bleeding pressure off the setting tool by piercing a rupture disk or releasing a valve.
- An example embodiment may include a tool for use downhole including a firing head, a setting tool, a power charge cartridge assembly disposed within the setting tool, further comprising a hollow cylindrical housing with a first end, second end, and a longitudinal axis, an energetic material disposed within the hol low cylindrical housing, an igniter disposed in the hollow cylindrical housing adj acent to the energetic material.

- FIG. 1 shows a side view cutaway of a power charge cartridge assembly.
- FIG. 2 shows a side view cutaway of a power charge cartridge assembly
- FIG. 1 An example embodiment is shown in FIG. 1 depicting a portion of a tool string 10 that has a firing head 1 1 and a setting tool 32 connected by threaded connection 20.
- the firing head 11 receives an electrical signal via contact pin 23 through contact rod 24 and into electrical pin 25.
- Contact pin 23, contact rod 24, and electrical pin 25 are all electrically insulated from the firing head housing.
- Electrical pin 25 travels through the adaptor 22 and makes electrical contact with contact pin 18.
- Contact pin 18 resides in cavity 28 within contact sub 12.
- Contact pin 18 in this example uses a spring loaded electrical contact to put it in electrical contact with heating element 16.
- Contact sub 12 is in the first bore 26 of the power charge chamber 14.
- the power charge cartridge assembly 31 is located within the power charge chamber 14.
- the power charge cartridge assembly 31 includes a cylindrical housing 30 that contains the energetic material 13, the initiator charge 17, and a heating element 16 embedded in the initiator charge 17.
- the combination of the heating element 16 and the initiator charge 17 forms an igniter 33.
- the heating element 16 may be an electrical resistor.
- An addressable switch connected to the heating element 16 may be embedded in the power charge cartridge assembly.
- the heating element 16 may receive current from the contact pin 18 via the spring loaded electrical contact and then ground out to the outer casing of the power charge chamber 14.
- the outer housing of the tool string 10 serves as an electrical ground.
- the hot wire may be directly through the power charge cartridge assembly 3 1 and into the heating element 16. Then the heating element 16 may ground out to the power charge chamber 14.
- the current may be supplied via the cylindrical housing 30 to the heating element 16 and then ground out to power charge chamber 14 via a wire.
- both the hot and the ground wires may be fed through the housing 30 and connect directly to the heating element 16.
- the hot wire may feed into the cylindrical housing 30, connect to the heating element 16, and then the heating element 16 may ground to the cylindrical housing 30.
- the distal end 21 of the power charge chamber 14 is coupled to a ported sub 15.
- the heating element 16 When the heating element 16 is energized, it ignites the initiator charge 17 by heating due to electrical resistance, which in turn ignites the power charge 13, and gases expand through the vent bore 19 on the ported sub 15. Ported sub 15 then transfers the gases into the piston of the setting tool 32.
- FIG. 2 depicting a portion of a tool string 100.
- the power charge chamber 114 has a power charge 113 ,
- the power charge 113 includes an initiator charge 117 with an embedded heating element 1 16.
- An electrical signal can be sent to the heating element 1 16 via the contact pin 123, through the contact rod 124, then electrical pin 125, and through contact pin 1 18.
- the contact pin 1 18 is in the bore 128 of the contact sub 112.
- the adaptor 122 is used to locate the contact sub 1 12 axially between the filing head 11 1 and the power charge chamber 114.
- the power charge cartridge assembly 131 is located within the power charge chamber 114.
- the power charge cartridge assembly 131 includes a cylindrical housing 130 that contains the energetic material 1 13, the initiator charge 117, and a heating element 116 embedded in the initiator charge 1 17.
- the combination of the heating element 1 16 and the initiator charge 1 17 is referred to as the igniter 133.
- the heating element 116 may be an electrical resistor.
- An addressable switch connected to the heating element 1 16 may be embedded in the power charge cartridge assembly.
- the heating element 1 16 may receive current from the contact pin 1 18 via the spring loaded electrical contact and then ground out to the outer casing of the power charge chamber 114.
- the outer housing of the tool string 1 10 serves as an electrical ground.
- the hot wire may be directly through the power charge cartridge assembly 131 and into the heating element 1 16.
- the heating element 116 may ground out to the power charge chamber 114.
- the current may be supplied via the cylindrical housing 130 to the heating element 1 16 and then ground out to power charge chamber 114.
- both the hot and the ground wires may be fed through the housing 130 and connect directly to the heating element 1 16.
- the distal end 121 of the power charge chamber 114 is coupled to a ported sub 115.
- the heating element 116 When the heating element 116 is energized, it ignites the initiator charge 117 due to heating from electrical resistance, which in turn ignites the power charge 1 13, and gases expand through the vent bore 119 on the ported sub 1 15. Ported sub 1 15 then transfers the gases into the piston of the setting tool 132. [0030] In the configuration shown in the example embodiment of F IG. 2 the heating element 1 6 can ignite the initiator charge 117, which then ignites the power charge 113 from the setting tool side of the power charge cartridge assembly 131 rather than the firing head side as shown in the previous embodiment. As gases are generated by the ignited power charge 113, the gases more efficiently vent into the ported sub 1 15 via vent bore 1 19 because they do not have to travel as far through the housing 132. By igniting the power charge 113 from the bottom instead of the top, the gases can immediately start expanding and performing work instead of first building up pressure within the power charge chamber 114. This puts less stress on the tools and allows for greater reusability.
- One advantage of the disclosed embodiments is that there is no longer a separate igniter to initiate the power charge.
- the heating element may directly initiate the power charge without an igniter charge. This further reduces tool complexity since an igniter holder sub is no longer necessary.
- an addressable control fire switch can be connected directly to the power charge. Upon combustion, the addressable control fire switch will then be destroyed. The destroyed switch will be unable to send a signal to the surface, which would indicate that the switch was in fact destroyed and thus confirm that the power charge ignited.
- the heating element in the igniter may be an electrical resistor that converts electrical energy into heat.
